I didn't think it had 3 different plots at all. Everything seemed pretty cohesive.

but the audience had no idea what was coming next. It was like:
getting robbed problem (solved by violence)-> hey, he's a hero-> uh oh, Ed Harris problem (solved by fight scene)->uh oh, new problem, Ritchie (solved by fight scene) then it was over.

Maybe what I"m trying to say is that the plot was too segmented for me. Each part seemed to seperate because we only found out about it once what we thought was the major problem was resolved.

good movie, i saw it a couple days ago and was thinkin about it a lot yesterday, didnt know really what to think of it...

it would have been cooler if they showed some flashbacks of joeys life in philly

^because that would have actually included some of his "history of violence" and would have actually given the audience more information. THe movie is supposed to be about his past, but they only give information concering a few days....I would have loved to hear more about the actual history of JOey, that was another thing I felt was left out for no reason.
